Underground Description

Open shaft of 15m leads to a descending rift. Next pitch of 25m, then a short climb, 6m pitch and 15m pitch into a chamber where the water sinks. The upper level of a small rift leads to an abandoned passage and a series of increasingly muddy freeclimbs to a final squeeze and 5m pitch into a sordid little sump.

    Location
    In grassy pasture east of Bräuning Alm, next to CUCC's high-level camp of 1977 (camp 1). Relocated 2005, near part-built new shepherds' hut. [In 2024 this is clearly a holiday home, not a hut.]
